All I know is I went to Memphis with a dream and a hope to make children happy and I came back with a broken heart. It’s torn in two and so deep in my soul I don’t know if I can ever volunteer again in public. But there’s one thing I know, Ma, I came home with a stronger than ever purpose.” “Oh sweetheart, I am so sorry you have a broken heart.” Abby stared at her mother and shook her head. “No, don’t be sorry. I have a new purpose in life. I want children, my own and others, and I also want to take away the pain of homelessness to orphans who need a family like mine. It’s my new mission in life. Perhaps Grandpa knew his money would be used for the greater good someday.” “Abby, are you certain? Maybe it’s too early to be thinking this way yet.” “Look around Mama! Look at this property. It’s big enough to house a dozen or more children and I plan to do so. Jon feels the same way. If we found out anything on our journey, it’s that we know for certain what we want out of life.”
